As crazy as it may sound - but I think India’s problem is not its bowling, its India’s batting.

The dead pitches in India neutralize most bowlers anyway. We saw what happened to Lee, Tait etc yesterday. So it does not concern me that much that India is weak on the bowling front.

But if Pakistan can take 2 quick wickets at the start of the Indian innings , India could be in serious trouble.

Virat Kohil has been largely inconsistent.
Yuvraj Singh cannot be trusted against decent spin (read Ajmal).
Dhoni is totally out-of-form (and is a waste of space in the team these days if you ask me).
And then we have Harbhajan, Ashwin Zaheer and Munaf (tailenders though Harbhajan/Ashwin can bat a bit).

Not many Indians realize this but the absence of a decent allrounder has made the second half of the Indian batting line up look quite fragile. Irfan Pathan instead of Munaf would have been ideal.

South Africa’s long tail did them in today. I fear the same may happen with India.

There have been a few spectacular Indian batting collapses already in the World Cup.

So here is my prediction - if Pakistan can take 2+ wickets before India get to 100 its Pakistan’s match for the taking.

LOL! Your batsmen score 338 and 290+. Your bowling couldn’t defend.

First match Sreesanth got out of team.
Next match Piyush got out of team.
Next match Nehra got out of team.
after Aus people are saying Munaf/Harbhajan should be out.

Now InshaAllah whole team will be out!
